She sounds natural, though, which is a nice breath of fresh air.

Every line, they'd never blend VAs like that.
Thanks, I'm pretty interested in hearing the super controversial new voice. Hope the game arrives tomorrow so I can actually put in some time before TW3 releases.

She was in Arena and Ultimax too.
That's probably why Tracey Rooney hightailed it. One and done, sure, but 'now you get to be Chie forever'?
Deuces!
The only problem with Erin's take on Chie is a few horrendously done lines over the course of the game. There's like....3 of them, usually when she yells. Oddly enough, when it came time for them to advertise the game, TWO of those were what they chose to show off...
They also are in the beginning of the game, so can only imagine they were really early lines for her. Still wonder why they just don't go back and rerecord them after, ah well.

To be fair, in those cases the performances were far more like the original VAs than Erin's was.

Is this what you mean? Erin's Chie has some great moments, but she has a few rough ones too... I don't know who at Atlus thought this was a good scene to show off the new acting with, it's probably the worst one in the game for new Chie.
IIRC, she said they were doing the recording for Golden, Arena and the anime at about the same time so it was a bit of a time crunch. So, the director was probably under a time limit to get everything ready for release.
Why yes, that's one of the three. To me, the other chief offenders are the moments where she gets pissed at Yosuke early on, the dvd scene and the rope scene.
And yeah, the crunch is probably what did it, but the game should really have priority when it comes to something like that. Those line reads are just.....not good. Which is a shame, since I really liked her every other time in the game. Just, yikes.
And hey, the vid just before they posted that, was another one of those scenes!

I guess it's cause Sam Riegel was in for the long haul, with no chance of his original VA returning.

Why was there no chance? I like both voices fine, I'm just curious.

He went union. Him and Troy Baker now play Arena together in that bright highly-paid gathering in the clouds.

Like DH arguments in baseball, old Chie VA vs. new Chie VA fights always boil down to what version you played first.
I played Golden, so I prefer Erin.

Erin's awesome; Voice Director flubbed a bit at the start; Meat thing long past being funny.
Anyways, sorry for digging a bit:
Yeah, I wasn't trying to say the new ones weren't done over models, just that he did a better job of masking the fact or whatever.
As for the old Rise artwork, eh... after seeing a ridiculously high res version of it, it's hard to say that it was good. I mean half of the details clearly look like pasted in-game textures and the pose itself seems a lot stiffer. However, we're talking about two versions of the same artwork so there's not much else to say that isn't going to be purely subjective.
Anyways, I find it strange that Kanami's artwork wasn't revised. It sorta fits in with DAN's current style but it still sticks out more than it should. Guess they didn't really care since it's Kanami.

So it's confirmed Troy Baker's in a union rather than just 'busy'?
At this point, Troy's not coming back to Kanji's role because he's moved on and someone else who does a great job has taken over. Initial reasons, less clear. He's said as much, at least.

I played Vanilla PS2 version first, I prefer Erin.
The voice just fits the character waaaaaaaay better.
Holy shit, this is my life.
I think it depends how you perceive the character. I saw Rooney's Chie as a break from exactly the kind of character that Erin's Chie is. Erin's Chie is a really typical anime tomboy.
Well, it usually boils down to what he said. Then again, there are some stragglers like you. I can't say I've heard almost anyone say the opposite of what you're saying though.
Maybe that should be the tiebreaker

Part of my issue with the voices is that I largely see Chie as basically that: A typical anime tomboy. For all the good character scenes with her shadow and her Link I don't feel like she develops nearly as much as most of the other characters. And the places she goes don't much interest me. So her original voice feels off for me and the newer voice, rough patches and all, better reflects what I'm seeing and feeling.
I played Vanilla many times before Golden and feel the same way.
It helps that I find Erin's love for the character so endearing.

I prefer Erin Fitzgerald saying, "Aha! Is this our chance?"

I used to think it wasn't that accurate, then I saw it all fit.
That's kind of an unfair example, isn't it?
I'm going to have to say "bullshit" on this one. Especially in the case of Margaret in P4G where the random voice actor switch in the middle of dialogue is jarring as all hell. It was incredibly unprofessional of Atlus too.

I suppose that's less how subtle the rest of the differences were and more how obvious the difference between the two Chies is.
No, it's not. The two voices in the scene in question couldn't be any different. It is very blatant that Karen Strassman's voice is different from Michelle Ann Dunphy's voice.
Persona 4 spoilers, but this is completely unacceptable in a retail product. The worst part is, the lines aren't even significantly different. Why they felt the need to change is is beyond me.
For what it's worth, Michelle An Dunphy is completely upfront about what happened; they simply couldn't get her (iirc, she was late in pregnancy at the time?) so they had Karen fill for her.

Wait, Karen is Ultimax's Margaret? That's kind of disappointing. I love her voice work, but that Margaret... blech.
A Dead Diehard

No, that Marge was Marisha Ray.
No. Karen fills in for some of Margaret's new lines in Golden. This, jarringly, happens during the scene after the
optional boss
It also happens with a different character during the story proper too, although it's slightly harder to notice.
Yeah, I don't blame her. The fault belongs to Atlus.
This is spot on.
My team moved from the NL to the AL and I am still trying to get adjusted to their pitchers not going up to bat.
I still hate the DH
I think she moved to Seattle.
Holy SHIT. I.. never noticed that the first time.

This confused the hell out of me because Michelle voiced all of the new voices except that part. It's possible that Atlus USA didn't find out after she voiced the other new lines

They Dont Think It Be Like It Is, But It Do
Not to call you out, but I remember you stating this a few times and, unfortunately, that's not looking to be the case. I was also leaning towards August/September in Japan, by the way.
I wrote this: Persona 5 release window revealed.
Looks like it's gonna be October, November or December in Japan and in NA, if it's not delayed. Kinda evoking simultaneous release vibes, to be honest.
Everyone keeps saying 2014 has already beaten 2015 when it comes to RPGs, but I think 2015 is gonna be the winner for me. P5 alone is enough, but in addition we're gonna get stuff like Witcher 3 and Tales of Zestiria and we already got Pillars of Eternity.
e: and I'm probably missing a lot of great RPGs too

Cool. That gives me time to pool money to get a system that will run the game.
The crazy port of Type-0 did.
Wasteland 2 and Divinity: OS come to mind, honestly can't come up with more right now. I just remember Durante's 2015 RPG thread being called something like "bad sequel, but still a good year" etc, so I assume the general opinion is that 2014 was the year of RPGs.
